Easy Peasy Chickpea Salad Sandwich Recipe

It’s no secret by now, the Oh She Glows cookbook is rapidly
starting to become my absolute favorite book of recipes. One recipe that has
become one that I make almost every week with my meal prep is the “Perfected
Chickpea Salad Sandwich.” This recipe is perfect for vegans who would love to
eat regular potato salad or egg salad but can’t. It is a very similar consistency,
can be eaten in many different varieties, and the best part is that it’s vegan
friendly!

What You Will Need:

-1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

-3 green onions thinly sliced

-¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper

-2 to 3 TB vegan mayo

-1 clove minced garlic

-1 ½ tsp yellow mustard

-¼ cup chopped dill pickle

-2 tsp fresh dill to taste

-1 ½ to 3 tsp fresh lemon juice to taste

-¼ tsp sea salt

-Freshly ground pepper

-Bread/crackers/tortillas/lettuce for serving

To begin, mash the chickpeas with a potato masher or
something similar until flaky in texture.

Once combined, season with lemon juice, dill, salt, pepper,
adjusting the quantity to your taste.

That’s it! Finish by serving it however you choose. Recently
I have been eating this on two pieces of whole grain sprouted bread as a sandwich, but I
am looking forward to trying it in a variety of different ways to switch things
up! :)

I’d love to know who is going to try this recipe! I bet this version blows the "original version" (aka tuna, chicken, and egg) out of the water!
